Services
Custom Vitamin Formulas
Our compounded custom vitamins are tailored to individual health needs using lab results and medical history. Formulated by clinical pharmacists, these clean, allergen-free supplements optimize nutrient absorption without synthetic additives. Patients receive ongoing support for formula adjustments as health needs evolve.
Body Chemistry Balancing
This comprehensive process analyzes blood chemistry, hormone levels, and metabolic markers to identify root causes of chronic symptoms. Using 20+ years of refined protocols, we create personalized treatment plans combining IV therapy, nutrition, and targeted supplementation for lasting health improvements.
Naturopathic Medicine
Our naturopathic doctors combine botanical medicine, clinical nutrition, and IV therapy to address complex health conditions. Specialized services include menopause management, fertility support, and mental health treatment using evidence-based natural therapies alongside conventional medical approaches.
IV Therapy
Administered by licensed naturopathic doctors, our IV vitamin infusions deliver high-dose nutrients directly into the bloodstream. This treatment supports immune function, energy production, and recovery from chronic conditions like fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome through customized nutrient combinations.
Medical Cannabis Consultation
Our pharmacists provide expert guidance on medical cannabis use, including strain selection, dosage ratios, and interaction management with prescription medications. The program focuses on harm reduction and deprescribing strategies for patients seeking alternatives to conventional pharmaceutical treatments.

They issued me expired medication. When I went back in to have it replaced they charged my credit card on file to replace it even though it was their fault. I paid to have them make a custom multi vitamin, I specified no vitamin c as recommended by my doctors. They still put vitamin c in the custom vitamin. When I brought up the issue they denied it was a problem. They also denied giving me my medical file (from the naturopath) when I left the clinic, which is in violation of the RHPA (regulated health care professionals act). They also scheduled my first visit with the naturopath and forgot to

Even though the St. Laurent store didn't have the product I was looking for, Kate advised me that the Carling location could ship the item to her store and I could pick it up in a few days. I was pleased with her suggestion and picked up the product today. My first-time shopping experience at NutriChem was outstanding! Thank you to Kate & Christina at St. Laurent and Sheila at the Carling store for the excellent customer service experience. This will now be my go-to store to buy supplements.
